I love
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is so cool, soft but mythical and [name_u]James[/name_u] is grounding
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] -[name_u]Love[/name_u] the sounds of [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] and [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] is unexpected
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] - love it, cheerful and sweet
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]-amazing! Modern yet vintage, cute but cool
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] -great names and so well paired
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]-[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is great, literary and distinctive and I really like it with [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] - unexpected and interesting
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] - love the soft sounds of [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] with quirky [name_m]Fox[/name_m]

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]–Handsome combo!
[name_m]Adrain[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]–Is this meant to be “[name_m]Adrian[/name_m]”? If not, it looks like “a drain”, which is unfortunate.
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]–I’m not sure if there is a good middle for [name_u]River[/name_u]… I always wonder if it was the name of some river somewhere.
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]–I like it. Though I do think of [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]'s [name_u]Eleven[/name_u]. And [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] and the whale.
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]–meh. Not a fan of either name.
[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]–Seems like an odd combo. It make me think “I’d rather be wild”.
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]–I like it. It could either be modern or quirky turn of the last century. Feels jaunty and friendly.
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]–I like both names but maybe not together because they’re too much of a style mismatch. [name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]? [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Otto[/name_m]? [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]?
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m]–Ok. Those repeating 'o’s are nice.
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]–Definitely handsome.
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]–Meh. Too trendy. And too short. [name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]? [name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]?
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m]–Handsome.
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]–Hmmm… I like it but maybe there’s a better middle out there? I’d like [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] better. [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_u]Finch[/name_u]?
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u]–Nice. I really like both names.
[name_u]Reed[/name_u] [name_m]Emrys[/name_m]–I’m never sure how to pronounce [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] but I think I like it.
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u]–Sounds like a fictitious character. Not a fan.
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_f]Cypress[/name_f]–Too much trendy in one name. I like both names a lot, but I’d be inclined to mix and match. [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] or [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]? [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_f]Cypress[/name_f]?

Sure!

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]-[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is so cool. I fear it’s gaining popularity a bit, which is surprising. I don’t thinks that [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] flows that well though; too many ‘s’ sounds. [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]River[/name_u]? [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]?

[name_m]Adrain[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]-[name_m]Adrian[/name_m] is handsome. It sounds like a cool, mysterious artist name. It’s not over done, but commonly known. I don’t care for [name_u]Sage[/name_u] though. [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] [name_m]Elijah[/name_m]?

[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]-[name_u]River[/name_u] is nice! Sounds very care free . Kind of rugged, but also gentle. [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] is pretty good…I like [name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m].

[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]-[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] is fine. I like it. It’s a nice name, but just doesn’t sparkle. I like [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]River[/name_u] better than [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]. Or [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m].

[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]-I love [name_m]Julian[/name_m]! As you can see in my signature, it’s one of my absolute favorites for a long long time. Has a similar feeling to [name_m]Adrian[/name_m], but a little more witty. [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] flows fine, I just don’t personally care for [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] much. [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m], [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u], [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m], [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Atlas[/name_m], [name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_u]August[/name_u]?

[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]-[name_u]Ira[/name_u] is really nice. Kind of spunky and old fashioned. I don’t love the flow of [name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]…[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_u]James[/name_u] sounds good to me.

[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] -I feel like I should like [name_m]Felix[/name_m], but just can’t get on board. Sounds kind of weaselly.

[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] -The combo flows well, but I don’t care for [name_m]Otto[/name_m]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] sounds like auto.

[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m]-[name_m]Milo[/name_m] is super fun. Smart, quirky & simple. Maybe getting more common though. [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] is okay. I like [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Julian[/name_m]!

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]-Ooh, this is nice. [name_m]Oscar[/name_m] is really handsome.

[name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]-That’s a bit abrupt. I don’t love [name_u]Kai[/name_u], but it’s not bad.

[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m]-Kind of a cool combo. [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] is pretty popular though. I think [name_u]Elias[/name_u] or [name_u]Elisha[/name_u] are more interesting.

[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]-Not sure I love [name_m]Cassian[/name_m]. I do like [name_m]Caspian[/name_m] & [name_m]Cassius[/name_m] though, so go figure.

[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] -Such a handsome combo! [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Rowan[/name_u]. It’s very manly yet kind.

[name_u]Reed[/name_u] [name_m]Emrys[/name_m]-Meh. [name_u]Reed[/name_u] is just kind of bland sounding.

[name_u]Ari[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u]-I love [name_u]Ari[/name_u]! It’s my kitty’s name (his full name is [name_u]Artemis[/name_u] [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m].) It means ‘lion’ in Hebrew . [name_u]Ari[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] is adorable.

[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_f]Cypress[/name_f]-This is not my style, but kind of a cool combo. Bohdi just seems to blend in w/all of trendy [name_m]Brody[/name_m], [name_u]Brady[/name_u], [name_u]Colby[/name_u] type names.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps. :slight_smile:

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - I like both names, the flow isn’t my favorite
[name_m]Adrain[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] - I’m assuming you meant [name_m]Adrian[/name_m]? Neither [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] nor [name_u]Sage[/name_u] is my cup of tea but they flow well
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - Sounds a little choppy
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] - I like [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] but in this combo the long O sound is a little overwhelming
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] - [name_m]Julian[/name_m] is one my favorites and [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] is underused. It’s a good combo, and I think [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] would be also well suited to being the middle name with [name_u]River[/name_u] or [name_m]Jonah[/name_m] if you feel like mixing and matching
[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - I like both of these names, I just feel like the repetitive long I sound is a bit much. I also really like [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] as a first
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] - Again, I like both of these names but the flow just feels a little choppy to me. It isn’t a bad combo, I just feel like the flow could be improved upon (admittedly, flow is not the most important thing)
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - This is a pretty interesting combo! Both names are very different styles but I like how it works
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] - The repetitive long O isn’t my favorite but the syllable pattern is nice if that makes sense? I like the 2-3 style
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] - I like it
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] - Not a fan of 1-1 syllable patterns, it just sounds very abrupt and I think both names would fit better with a long first or middle
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] - I like it!
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] - [name_m]Fox[/name_m] isn’t my favorite but it flows well with [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] here
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] - I like both names, it’s okay
[name_u]Reed[/name_u] [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] - The flow isn’t my favorite but they are both nice names
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] - I like it
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_f]Cypress[/name_f] - Neither names is my favorite but it’s okay

Overall I think most of the things that I didn’t like were just how the two names sound together. You have some pretty neat names in here and none of the combos were bad, but I think part of putting a really solid combo together is considering how the names balance each other out.

I really like:
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]: I have a similar combo ([name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m]) but I always feel hesitant because it just sounds like the name of a river.
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]: the “oh” sound at the beginning of both names isn’t great, but the “-ah [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]” flows beautifully.
[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]: this combo has such a complete feel. [name_u]Ira[/name_u] is really nms but the combo feels perfect to me!
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]: don’t usually love [name_m]Fox[/name_m] but this is gorgeous
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u]: I have this combo too haha!
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u]: visually, this is amazing
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_f]Cypress[/name_f]: also looks really nice written

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - Strong. I always wonder if [name_m]Atlas[/name_m] is a name people can live up to.
[name_m]Adrain[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]- [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_m]Adrian[/name_m]. [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] sounds nice.
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - I prefer [name_u]River[/name_u] in the middle.
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] - Not into this one. Not the combo of syllables, or the sounds of the names together.
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] - Nice!!!
[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - I don’t like either of these names much.
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] - These names sound like they were meant to be together.
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - Cool.
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] - I like both names, but would prefer them in the opposite order.
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] - Nice!!!
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] - Too short sounding for me, with only one syllable per name.
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] - Really nice!!
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] - I’d prefer [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] here instead of [name_m]Cassian[/name_m].
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] - Nice names, but I don’t know if I like them together.
[name_u]Reed[/name_u] [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] - Different sounding, in a good way. I think I’d like [name_u]Reid[/name_u] better though.
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] - Not my taste at all.
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_f]Cypress[/name_f] - A little too out there for me.

I love …
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] (my favorite)
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] (really like this one too)

I like …
[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] (prefer [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] [name_u]River[/name_u])
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]

I dislike …
[name_m]Adrain[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] ( if this is a typo and should be [name_m]Adrian[/name_m] then I love it)
[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]
[name_u]Reed[/name_u] [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] (I love [name_u]Reed[/name_u])
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u]
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_f]Cypress[/name_f]

Since there’s a lot of names, I’m going to rate them simply.

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it, handsome
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it, handsome
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it, handsome
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m] - [name_u]Love[/name_u] it, handsome

[name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u] - Great, cool name
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] - Great, cool name, would prefer a more unique middle name though
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u] - Great

[name_m]Adrian[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u] - Good
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] - Good
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] - Good, but [name_m]Elijah[/name_m] is a bit common

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] - Good, but nms
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u] - Good, but nms
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] - Good, but nms
[name_u]Reed[/name_u] [name_m]Emrys[/name_m] - Good, but nms
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m] - Good, but nms

[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] - Not a fan, but [name_m]Wilder[/name_m] is good

[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_f]Cypress[/name_f] - Least favorite name, [name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] is pretentious sounding to me

[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u] and [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u] are my favourites :slight_smile:

[name_m]Atlas[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u]- love it, sounds strong
[name_m]Adrain[/name_m] [name_u]Sage[/name_u]- looks like a typo on [name_m]Adrian[/name_m]…
[name_u]River[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m]- love it
[name_m]Jonah[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]- sounds like a nod to [name_m]Frank[/name_m] [name_u]Ocean[/name_u]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m] [name_m]Alaric[/name_m]- love it
[name_u]Ira[/name_u] [name_m]Wilder[/name_m]- [name_u]IRA[/name_u] is the acronym for Irish Republican [name_m]Army[/name_m], a literal terrorist group. I would strongly advise to stay away from that name
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Everett[/name_u]- my favorite from this list!
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]- a name that is common among old [name_m]German[/name_m] men and then the hip, trendy [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u]? Doesn’t fit together at all.
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Josiah[/name_m]- [name_m]Milo[/name_m] happens to be my favorite name, my son is [name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Peter[/name_m]. needless to say, great choice
[name_m]Oscar[/name_m] [name_u]Jude[/name_u]- love it
[name_u]Kai[/name_u] [name_u]Gray[/name_u]- doesn’t sound that good together
[name_m]Elijah[/name_m] [name_m]Wolf[/name_m]- [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] and [name_m]Fox[/name_m] as names sound a little childish, surely there are more subtle animal associations
[name_m]Cassian[/name_m] [name_m]Fox[/name_m]- [name_m]Cassian[/name_m] is great!
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] [name_u]August[/name_u]- prefer [name_m]Roman[/name_m], [name_u]August[/name_u] is nice
[name_u]Reed[/name_u] [name_m]Emrys[/name_m]- ok
[name_u]Ari[/name_u] [name_u]Finch[/name_u]- love [name_u]Ari[/name_u], dislike finch
[name_m]Bodhi[/name_m] [name_f]Cypress[/name_f]- a bit too hippy for my taste
